I see why your saying that but I don’t think it’s as black and white as that.
Yes obviously we would love to progress and possibly move up the table but CH was sacked because Bloom felt he wouldn’t deliver safety this season.

I think Tony like the rest of us just wants to turn up at a home game and be entertained a bit more.
If it means we get relegated while our style changes then Its a hit I am willing to take.
The last 6 months in particular had been torture at home, I may actually venture to an away game now if possible

You make it sound like it has to be one or the other. You are aware that you can play attacking football and win!!!

It's appropriate that you used 'GP' in your post mentioning recent signings, with 'new' GP finding a way to get the best out of them.
Our previous 'GP' managed to very quickly coach El Abd into a ball playing defender to the surprise of all/most Albion fans. Reading the piece by Ankergren on the official site he said that during that title winning season nobody was scared to receive the ball from the goalkeeper. The 'new' GP played the ball out from the goalkeeper whenever possible at his previous clubs. Perhaps we will see a move away from the Ryan Hoofball into touch which might see last season's disappointments in better positions to be a threat?
My initial thoughts are that with a different coaching philosophy with players coached to be comfortable on the ball we might see just why we paid so much for Locadia and Alireza? In the PL under Hughton we were so poor with movement off the ball-possibly because 9 players were behind the ball most of the time? Or they really were a waste of 30 Million or whatever it was we paid...
Many of us suggested last season's woes were down to coaching. We could be about to find out if that was the case.

You beat me to it.
A new season always sees expectation levels rise. Factor in a new manager and two highly regarded signings (so far). What's not to be excited about? Like you, I can't recall all of these entitled posts. Maybe he hasn't got over Hughton's departure yet?

Be interesting to see what Potter does if his attacking policy doesn't work. Players like Locadia and AJ look toilet and its hoped (more than expected) its because of Hughtons tactics.
Hughton seemed unable to change his philosophy . Would Potter be able to if he really has inherited duds ?
Going attacking with players that are not up to it will see you relegated by February

The one I quoted. And honestly, much of this thread. A year ago this thread would have been nothing but about Trossard and excitement for what he can do, this year there is huge amounts of debate about where we're signing players from, whether they're experienced enough, do we need this position, is the club getting it right, l plus lots of Hughton chat. Don't be obtuse and ignore that!

With CH this time last year we had a certainty that the manager and team could keep us up. Don't have that certainty now with Harry, however I have more confidence in him keeping us up than with CH after the abysmal second half of the season.
